Hello! I have never driven to Portland before, nor has anyone I know. Apple maps says it’s about a 3 hour drive but it isn’t accounting for traffic. How bad is the traffic on I-5 going to Portland?
I would assume that if I leave at 12:30 on a Friday I would hit bad traffic and the trip would maybe even take 4 hours or more. Which if it took 4 hours I would miss the event I am planning for and it would be pointless.
Does anyone have any experience with that drive from Redmond to Portland around 12-4 on Friday and know how bad it is and if it’s even worth it?
Thanks in advance!
